I got a really strange call from an old friend regarding "proprietary Linux". It would seem that AARP is peddling foolproof old people PCs with "proprietary Linux" installed on them. It seems my friend got handed a brand new laptop courtesy of AARP that the sound doesn't work. (Aww dam' remember the driver wars?) My question: Has anybody heard of "proprietary Linux". According to him it can only be fixed online for a fee.
